Ye Yinchuan hadn't expected a sudden situation to arise during his live stream.
He adjusted the external camera on his computer and walked toward the window.
"Kang!"
Munchlax, seemingly sensing its owner's emotions, twitched its large rabbit-like ears and stood up, positioning itself like a little bodyguard by Ye Yinchuan's side.
Glancing at Munchlax's nearly 200-pound frame, Ye Yinchuan felt a lot more at ease.
[So nice! Having a Pokémon like Munchlax at home makes you feel so much safer when you're alone!]
[Is this scripted? Who in their right mind would be banging on someone's window in the middle of the night?]
By now, Ye Yinchuan had reached the window. He leaned to the side and finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was a Pokémon.
The blue-shelled, beetle-like creature was none other than Heracross.
Ye Yinchuan quickly scanned its stats panel and confirmed it was the same Heracross he had seen earlier that day.
His heart sank:
"Could it be that the post station owner's Heracross has gone out of control and come to me?"
The status on Heracross's panel read: **[Anxious, Seeking Help]!**
"Anxious about what? Seeking help for what?"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes filled with confusion. Something felt very wrong.
He immediately activated his exclusive ability, Listening Heart, to hear Heracross's thoughts.
(Inner voice: Ah Wen, Ah Wen has collapsed... This person can save Ah Wen! Heracross has no other options... Others would either be scared or think I'm crazy...)
"Ah Wen?"
Ye Yinchuan was momentarily stunned but quickly realized.
That was the name of the post station owner.
It was as if a neuron in his brain had lit up.
Ye Yinchuan suddenly remembered that Ah Wen had mentioned he had a heart condition.
Now, Heracross's thoughts were saying that Ah Wen had collapsed.
Could it be that he was having a heart attack?!
"This is bad! This is an emergency!"
Ye Yinchuan immediately felt tense.
Although he wasn't very close to the post station owner, a human life was at stake.
In a situation where he could potentially save a life, Ye Yinchuan couldn't just ignore it and focus solely on his live stream.
That would be too cold-hearted!
As someone who loved Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan was kind at heart.
"No time to explain! Munchlax, wait for me at home! I'll be back soon!"
With that, Ye Yinchuan opened the window and climbed halfway out.
"Heracross! Take me to Ah Wen!"
Ye Yinchuan knew that Heracross wasn't easy to ride directly.
But he had seen in an anime that a blond kid had Heracross hold him with its two arms, like a backpack jet, allowing it to carry him while flying.
This Heracross, in its urgency, reacted quickly.
However, its flying ability was naturally limited.
With Ye Yinchuan's weight added, it sank a bit and struggled to fly.
But its eyes were determined. Ah Wen had insisted on keeping it even after it had accidentally hurt him, and had recognized its worth.
As repayment, it had to save Ah Wen's life!
"Kang..."
Munchlax watched as Heracross flew away with its owner.
It gazed at their retreating figures, feeling a bit lonely.
[Wait, they just flew away like that?]
[Is the anchor not going to explain?]
[That's Heracross, right? You can do that with it?]
[Wuwuwu, poor Munchlax!]
As Ye Yinchuan was being carried by Heracross, he suddenly remembered he was still live streaming.
Luckily, he had his phone with him.
He opened the live stream on his phone, intending to give the viewers an explanation.
"Sorry, everyone, it's an emergency. This Heracross's owner is in critical condition, and I need to go save him. Should we end the stream for today?"
[No way, anchor, just keep the stream on.]
[No wonder...]
[Consider it a challenge for outdoor streaming! Can you give Heracross a close-up?]
"Uh..."
Ye Yinchuan felt that live streaming while trying to save someone was a bit inappropriate, or perhaps too performative.
But he couldn't resist the viewers' enthusiasm and reluctantly agreed:
"Alright, but I might not talk much. I'm feeling a bit anxious, so I hope you all understand."
[Wait, isn't anyone focusing on the main point? How did the anchor know from Heracross that its owner was in trouble?]
[Can the anchor talk to Pokémon?]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and gave a wry smile.
Theoretically, yes.
Because some Pokémon can understand simple human language to a certain extent.
And with his exclusive ability, Listening Heart, he could specifically understand what Pokémon were thinking.
It was a kind of barrier-free communication!
"Heracross, over there, stop!"
At that moment, Ye Yinchuan spotted the familiar Grass Leaf Clinic.
He remembered that there was a Chikorita there that had inherited the move **Aromatherapy**!
His plan was to go to the clinic, buy some quick-acting heart relief pills, and bring Chikorita along.
Although Ah Wen probably had emergency heart medication at his place, the problem was that if Ah Wen had already lost consciousness, it would be hard to find the medicine quickly.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Ye Yinchuan chose the most foolproof strategy!
Heracross trusted Ye Yinchuan completely and dropped him off at the entrance of the Grass Leaf Clinic.
"Quick-acting heart relief pills! And Chikorita!"
Ye Yinchuan rushed in, shouting, startling the clinic doctor who was scrolling through Douyin.
After grabbing the pills, Ye Yinchuan picked up Chikorita and dashed out.
"Hey! Wait!"
The doctor in the white coat didn't even grab his phone and ran after him.
[666, is the anchor stealing a Pokémon?]
[Probably didn't pay, and now he's being chased!]
[The anchor is amazing, racing against death!]
Although Ye Yinchuan was holding his phone, the camera angle was shaky and blurry.
But that didn't stop the viewers in the live stream from eagerly following the drama or cheering him on.
"I'll pay you later!"
Ye Yinchuan, holding Chikorita, was carried away by Heracross, shouting back at the bespectacled man.
"No! It's not about the money! If there's a patient, I can help!"
When Ye Yinchuan heard this, his expression softened.
A sense of calm and determination filled his heart!
"Heracross, let's go!"
[There's still kindness in the world!]
[Wuwuwu, the anchor and this doctor are such good people!]
[What a良心 (conscientious) clinic! The anchor should definitely promote it!]
Comments flooded the screen, but Ye Yinchuan didn't have time to read them now.
As they approached the post station, Heracross landed.
The moment it touched the ground, Ye Yinchuan sprinted inside with Chikorita in his arms and found Ah Wen lying unconscious on the floor.
The Pokémon kept at the post station were gathered around Ah Wen, looking anxious.
When they saw Heracross bringing someone, their expressions showed both worry and a glimmer of hope.
Ah Wen's face was pale, his lips purple. It was clear that if they had arrived any later, it might have been too late!
The Chikorita in Ye Yinchuan's arms, true to its clinic training, saw the patient's critical condition and was filled with a sense of duty and mission.
It leaped out of Ye Yinchuan's arms.
Mid-air, it activated a Grass-type healing move on Ah Wen—
**Aromatherapy!**
